Permanent Man I'm a permanent man In a transient world And I have to learn to let go There's no guarantee And time is cheap We can't put our lives on hold We could live in a moment We could touch and be over it We could forget ourselves in a day But I want to remember The time we spend together How we forgive the things that we say I'm a permanent man In a transient world And I have to learn to let go There's no guarantee And time is cheap We can't put our lives on hold I could start again I could smile and pretend That I'm perfectly fine right here But no drugs and no wine Will ever define They just make a man disappear I'm a permanent man In a transient world And I have to learn to let go There's no guarantee And time is cheap We can't put our lives on hold A woman or two Some drugs and some booze And a lie that we'll all atone It will all go away And there's nothing to take You're left cold, empty, alone -7/2010

Atlas 05:05
Atlas What would you think of me If I said I was wrong? I can't be everything In your world after all I feel when you're leaning on me now When you try to hold me down That I can't pull myself up Does it matter if I leave? Would you find someone else To be your everything? The only one that matters I feel when you're leaning on me now When you try to hold me down That I can't pull myself up That I can't hold you up You need to find your own way You need to find another way without me I feel when you're leaning on me now When you try to hold me down That I can't hold you up Please tell me when you want to let me go That's when I will really know That you want me here -1/2011

Not In Love 04:57
Not In Love If she just opened up I would change my mind But she holds her mask on tight So why should I even try? Because I'm far above And it seems Like she's far below And it's all It's all around But I'm not No I'm not in love And she teases me And she tells me lies That sound too good for me so I leave I say goodbye Because I'm far above And it seems Like she's far below And it's all It's all around But I'm not No I'm not in love But it seems to me She's far away I can't hold her now I cannot say If I want her here Because she's all around me And I'm stopping this vicious dance Because I'm far above And it seems Like she's far below And it's all All around me But I'm not No I'm not in love -2/2011

You're All Alone Even if we try to work it out There's nothing left to talk about Don't you try to call me on the phone Say goodbye 'cuz I'm Leaving home On my own Don't follow me 'cuz you're all alone Even if we try every night Try our best to be polite We're sinking like a heavy stone, Say goodbye, 'cuz I'm Leaving home On my own Don't follow me 'cuz you're all alone I'm leaving home Time to go Don't follow me 'cuz you're all alone -5/2010

Only Me 03:48
Only Me No matter where you go at night I will be Anywhere you run I will be chasing after you, just us two Take me along, I hope I'm enough Please don't leave me here alone I'm nothing without you I know what's best for you You can't be safe without me too We all need company So why not only me? No matter where you go at night I will be Anywhere you run I will be chasing after you, just us two Take me along, I hope I'm enough Please don't leave me here alone I'm nothing without you We don't need anyone else We can do this by ourselves Leave our family behind Trust me, they won't mind No matter where you go at night I will be Anywhere you run I will be chasing after you, just us two Take me along, I hope I'm enough Please don't leave me here alone I'm nothing without you I can see us standing there Arms embraced a frozen pair -4/2010

Sleepwalker 04:27
Sleepwalker Peace is cheap When you can sleep You have no bounds You find what you haven't found They bought all my days And got my nights for free They want to take me over I only want to dream When you're awake You have to fake All the smiles All the hands you shake They bought all my days And got my nights for free They want to take me over I only want to dream Let me fly, let me think, And I can do anything They bought all my days And got my nights for free They want to take me over I only want to dream -6/2010

Trouble 03:10
Trouble Everybody wants to get in trouble Everybody wants to get into a fight Just another high to keep you going Just another way to keep passing time All that I want Is in this room Everybody wants to be above the law Everybody wants to live like a star Just another way to hide the problem Just another way to kick-start your heart All that I want Is here with you -7/2010

Burnt 05:36
Burnt In the springtime we show our skin I see us dancing with no sin In the summertime we're all burnt In the sun we are scathed, we all hurt So take me home where I can be myself So take me home where I can love nobody else In autumn time we're falling down Will I help you up or will you hit the ground? In wintertime all is cold We're turning gray all alone So take me home where I can be myself So take me home where I can love nobody else So take me home where I can be myself So take me home where I can love nobody else So take me home where I can love myself So take me home where I can need nobody else -4/2010

Further 05:22
Further When we danced around Tripped and stumbled down And complicated everything that need not be I was nearly spent Your sea of rules we bent I kissed the ground when we landed safely The further that we run The more that we become The rhythm that we find Is turning into signs Of what's to come The place I'm taking you Is down the avenue And I'm thinking you'll love this kind of crowd 'Cause I know your ways Since we stopped the games And we shouted the truth out loud The further that we run The more that we become The rhythm that we find Is turning into signs Of what's to come -1/2011

All The Same 05:51
All The Same You act tall yet beg and crawl You're on your knees and still you fall When she walks into the room It's like she's cast in solid gold Poured into a perfect mold And you're a pawn for her to move But we're all the same Everyone She leads you on and on you go You change yourself and who you know To fit your vision of her dream But it's all inside your head The tender words she never said And you're convinced that you have seen But we're all the same Everyone Wake up for yourself -3/2011

Counterpart 07:36
Counterpart I should not complain I've been doing well Things are just fine But I'm wanting more Than I can have Here by myself I don't want to grow old With no one to hold Someone to warm the cold feeling That I'm only half whole Lately I've been feeling numb Disappearing slow Into shadow But this half empty bed Just won't be warm enough To keep from freezing I don't want to grow old With no one to hold Someone to warm the cold feeling That I'm only half whole I'm fine alone Just keeping step In my own parade But these vacant rooms In this silent house Just never change And my counterpart Can pump the blood Back through my veins I don't want to grow old With no one to hold Someone to warm the cold feeling That I'm only half whole -12/2010
